I'm completely new at this I just rooted my nook color today with Stable CM7. I wanted too overclock my nook so I flashed the kernel from this thread onto my device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064095 now whenever I go to turn on my device it's a blank blackish screen. How would I get it back to how it was before I installed this (I must've done something wrong, I'm an idiot). I just tried to install the stock kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908515 but same thing is happening for me.
This exact problem happened to me today. I found some link to a stock 1.1 Nook Color software or something like that, got the Nook Color back to essentially factory settings, and then repeated the whole process of installing CM7, with the added step of installing the kernel along with the ROM and gapps.
Could you link me to this stock software you found?

You used the wrong kernel. That one is apparently for rooted stock, not CM7.
Since your screen is black you might have to revert back to stock OS before reflashing CM7.
Can you boot into CWM from a SD? If so you can just try and redo the install procedure for CM7. This guide is recommended. (Also containing a link to a guide for reverting to stock, if needed...)

Alright I'm going to try to re-flash CM7. Thanks bro.
Well I reinstalled CM7 and when I pressed 'reboot system now' in CWM it just takes me back to CWM so I'm still lost. Going to try to install stock now.
_
Ok I installed stock now and it seems to be working, but It's just stuck at a screen saying 'contains Reader Mobile technology by Adobe Systems Incorporated.' and then the nook symbol in the center of the screen. It could just be loading but it's been 3-5 mins atleast so idk.
Yeah it's not going past that screen where it says 'contains Reader Mobile technology by Adobe Systems Incorporated.' not sure if I should try rebooting though. I tried going into recovery mode and get 'Install failed' so I tried installing again but same results.
I got my nook working with cm7 again, thank you for the help!
weird, my mom called me last night with the same issue. will see it today to see what it was.
Just to add on to the part where you said it took you back to CWM after reboot (for anyone who might come here for answers), you have to take the SD card out before you reboot.
ok so after 3 days of trying, i keep getting stuck on a boot-loop I am asking for some help.
before I begin, I have successfully rooted and installed cm7 on 2 nooks that came factory 1.2,I have searched google and these forums but can't find anything with my specific needs.
I have followed the directions on this thread to a tee:

i am using a bootable cwm card (2GB) (cwm version 3.0.2.8)
after installing ManualNooter-4-5-18.zip then ManualNooter-4-6-16.zip I remove the sd card and reboot and I get a boot-loop with the "n color" screen animation. It has not booted successfully yet.
I have already used the 8 failed boots method to restore to factory and re-registered the nook.
Then I redid everything again and im back at the boot-loop.
any ideas
i do not have an answer but this answers my question of whether I want to run manual nooter on my 1.3 or try cm7. the cm7 steps seems more intimidating
Well i tried several more times last night with no luck. Then i got brave and just wiped everything (data,system,cache,dalvick) then flashed cm7 and gapps straight from my cwm boot card. I somehow
Ended up with a fully functional nook. App market works. Rebooted several times to be sure. I even tried usb host with my homemade adapter. Mouse, keyboard, and sandisk cruzer all work splendidly thru a powered hub.
My only mistake was i cant find my backup of stock 1.3 rom. Is there one floating around?

If I'm understanding correctly, you're trying to go from CM to 1.3, correct?
From what you've described, I suspect Clockworkmod 3.0.2.8 is your problem. If you look carefully as you format /data in preparation for reloading the BN 1.3 firmware, I think you'll see that the format is actually failing. That version of CWM doesn't handle the partitions correctly.
You want 3.2.0.1. See the edits at the top of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987735
If you're already on CM7.1, you probably have the correct version of CWM installed. You can save yourself a step by formatting the /data and /system partitions using that, then continuing on with the rest of the procedure for restoring BN 1.3. I went through all this myself a few days ago while preparing to go to BN 1.4.1.
I forgot to mention in my last post that i realized i was using the wrong cwm image and i burned another card with cwm 3.2.01.
I was still getting a boot-loop so i wiped everything and went straight to cm7.

I didn't read your post correctly.
I had a stock nook that i want to install cm7 on. Not the other way around. I asked about a stock 1.3 file just in case i need to do a restore. The nook is done. Its running cm7 just fine and i have given it back to my friend.
I really need to get myself one :-(
I usually mess around with my sons but he's at his mothers for the weekend with it. After christmas im getting one. Dont know if it'll be a color or a nook tablet but im getting one for sure!

If you intended to install CM7 from beginning, then why you wasted time messing around with ManualNooter?
Im still rather new to working on nooks. I thought that it was required to use manual nooter first. Im still not sure.
Can someone clarify for mr. If i just bought a nook and i want cm7 on it, whats the best procedure?

The only boot loop issue I'm aware of is related to Adobe AIR and Flash. The fix is to uninstall them and then reinstall from Market.

I hope you do use Windows at some points.
Let's put it this way.
You bought a PC with Windows XP pre-installed, get home, you don't want XP, so you install Windows 7 on the PC. You just whack the XP.
Same theory applied here, B&N shipped their NC out with the original stock ROM, which is Froyo-based OS. You want to install CM7, which is Gingerbread-OS ROM. You just whack the stock and install CM7.
oh I get it know. so its pretty easy if you want to go straight to cm7 just wipe and flash.
After reading some posts from the nook tablet section, i guess i'm getting a nook color.
what a shame about the locked bootloader :-(
i didnt technically solve the boot loop issue, i just erased everything, but should I mark this as solved and if so how?
The current Nook Color bootloader is not locked. The Nook Tablet's is. I wouldn't necessarily rule anything out, though. The bootloader on the Motorola Droid 2 is also locked, and there's quite an active Cyanogenmod community around it. The only problem is that we're stuck with whatever kernels B&N release, so ICS may be a long way off. I suspect the NC will remain the tuner's machine of choice, but the performance on the NT is very nice. If you can live with a rooted B&N ROM, it's a nice device for now.

No, it seems that some 1.3 based NC units will bootloop if 4.6.16 is used to root them. I'm not sure why. Even after repartitioning to original nook partition sizes, or using CWM 3.2.01 (which supports the new partitioning), it'll still bootloop if 4.6.16 is used. Might be because of the different kernal included, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know for sure. They root fine with 4.5.18. Haven't tried one with the new 1.4.1 compatible nooters.
To the original poster;
I'm having the same problem here, installed 4.15 successfully, installed 4.16 and am getting stuck in boot loop at the rainbow nook color screen.
I'm not understanding the 8 boot fail procedure though. Is this when you let the boot loop run through 8 times or when you get to the point of when the boot loop starts, shut the NC off and power it back on?
Also, to install cm7, all you did was put it on your sd card, and installed it through cwm?
The 8 boot method if i recall correctly is when you boot the nook and wait until the splash screen shows up immediately hold the power button and shut it down. Repeat 7 more times. If you did it correctly it should take over and do a restore on its own.
If you want to go straight to CM7 I dont think you need to go thru with this procedure because if you create a bootable cm7 card and insert it in your nook while its off then power up, it should boot you into cwm recovery. Once in the recovery you can flash cm7.

Thank you good sir! I was stuck in boot loop forever and couldn't find a clean explanation of the 8 boot fail process. I always tried to turn it off when the rainbow nook color screen came up.
I got it reset, made a flashable CWM SD card with 3.2 and then flashed CM7 on there and it works great!!
That was very frustrating, thank you!
Dont mention it, Glad to here I was able to help you out. I felt the same way when I was in that situation. Lots of googling to get a clearer idea on what that 8 boot method entailed. CM7 really makes it feel like a totally different device.
To all the devs that work on these projects, thank you

ive recently purchased a nook color version 1.3 and did all the steps to build cm7 on sd ard inserted it into my nook it downloaded then rebot and seem to come up im cm7 but my touch screen isnt working any suggestions?
Hello,
I was running one of the CM9 nightlies and decided to try one of eyeballer's with OpenGL, and was able to make the switch without any problems, but after a while wanted to go to a non-openGL build and after flashing it my Nook won't boot past the loading screen.
I have a 1GB card with CMW which I'm able to boot to, I've tried wiping data, format boot and format system and reinstalling one of the builds that had previously worked, but still get stuck on Cyanoboot's loading screen. Even tried going back down to CM7 to see if that helped, but stuck on that loading screen as well.
What am I missing here? I've formatted boot, system, cache, data, everything, but the issue persists.
Any suggestions as to how I can make my Nook come back to live.

Well, for one thing, never format boot.
After trying cm7, you still get cyanoboot? It should have changed to the green cyanogenmod logo. If not then your flashes are not working.

After flashing CM7 I get the green boot screen, but my Nook also gets stuck on that loading screen.
When flashing CM9 I can press the ''N'' button and scroll the available boot methods, but when I choose one I get stuck on loading again.
So on both CMs I'm getting stucked on ''loading'', which started to happen on Monday after going from one of the openGL builds to the latest non-openGL build.

Ok, that means that CWM is putting the boot files on the boot partition since they change CM7 vs CM9.
Which version is your CWM on the SD?
You can't boot to anything, not even emmc recovery? Or you just can't boot to 'normal'? Do you even have emmc recovery installed? If you don't, get the first file on this post and flash it with your CWM card. You may be in a recovery bootloop, without a recovery.

Thank you leapinlar, seems like it was me having an old CWM on my boot card that wasn't helping me, installed the recovery zip and manage to boot into that from cyanoboot's loading screen and reflashed and managed to boot my Nook.
I'm still intrigue as to how this happened, do you think that when switching between openGL and non-openGL the boot partition got corrupted or something? I've been flashing many roms for almost a year and had never had this issue happen to me before.
Thanks a million for taking time to help me, you're a life saver.

It's possible your recovery somehow got corrupted during the flash. If that happens, it does not clear the recovery boot flag and it keeps trying to boot to recovery and it can't because it is corrupted. And it just bootloops forever.
Also, make sure your CWM bootable card is a recent version. If you have a newer nook and an old CWM and you try to clear data, it fails and you have a mess.
Hi, I am totally new at this but I been having a nook color for over a year now and been running CM7 on it for the longest time. Tonight I wanted to put CM9 on and for whatever I did now I just can't seem to get pass the Cyanoboot screen. Doesnt matter what I do it just gives me a blank screen and stays there. What do I gotta do to fix it or get rid of this cyanoboot and back to CWM so i can re flash everything. Any help would be great. Thanks

Try using my bootable CWM card in my tips thread in my signature. It works fine under ordinary circumstances, but I have been wanting someone to try it to see if it gets you out of that bootloop.
Edit: Just a question out of curiosity. When you finished flashing that new ROM with your CWM, were you able to reboot from CWM normally using the menu choice? Or was there some lockup or something where you had to reboot from CWM by hard powering off?

Just follow the directions in the thread to make the card. Then put it in the nook and try booting. If it boots to CWM, just use it to flash like DizzyDen said. And when you exit, use the menu to choose re-boot.
PS, the hard powering off caused the problem. CWM was not able to clear the recovery flag and you ended up in a recovery bootloop. Let me know if my card boots.

Thank YOU for testing my card and proving that gets you out of the recovery bootloop you were in.
You need to take one more step. You need to put a new CWM back on your internal memory so it is there ready for the next time you want to install a ROM. If you go back to my tips thread, there is a link to a new flashable CWM zip (version 5.5.0.4) that can be put on your internal memory. The link is in item B1. Just download that zip file, then boot one more time to my bootable CWM card and install that zip. You should not need my card anymore after that unless you get in a bootloop again.
I've had something similar going on. I believe my nook has been using the EMMC to boot. It was on CM7. I grabbed the latest open GL CM9 because I plan on giving this to my parents. I wanted them to be able to use the TWC TV/DVR app which only works on ICS. I am stuck in a loop where it keeps going to recovery and neither flashing cm9 again nor recovering to an old back up is working. Is the recovery SD card the suggested method for fixing this? I'm not stuck in a loop but I am stuck and having to go into recovery every boot.
For awhile, the N menu gave me both EMMC and SD card boot options. Now it only has EMMC ones.

You could try the new CWM SD. Just make sure when you finish using CWM to exit from that by using the 'reboot' choice in the menu. Do not just hard power off.

So slap the image on a clean SD card and boot up from it. After it's done and I hit reboot, what would I do to get back to CM7 or CM9? I haven't had to do something like this yet. Any time I've had issues, I've been lucky enough to go back to a saved clockwork backup and restore things back to how they should be

First thing I would try is just to exit the new CWM via the menu to see if it gets you out of the bootloop. Retry booting without the SD in. If it will still only boot to recovery, I would again boot to my CWM and flash the new recovery to emmc. Next I would try to restore your old nandroid backup with the new CWM. If none of that works, flash a new CM to emmc with the new CWM.
I installed CM9 Eyeballer the other day on my NC. It pretty much works, but if I go into the web browser or any other factory-installed app, hitting the "N" button takes me back to the factory-installed home screen, and I can't find any way to get back to the Android home screen, short of rebooting the device. Is this normal?
Also, I flashed Gapps using gapps-20120429-ics-signed.zip, and the only Google App that appears is Play Store -- I was able to sign in, but the next screen gave me a "Server Error," and that's all it's done since. I verified the md5sum, and also tried again to install it. No change. Is there some version conflict, or something like that?
Edit: did not install CM9, after all. I now have.
What is the 'factory installed home screen'? You mean stock? That is not possible if you installed CM9 over the top of stock on emmc. Can you explain a little more how you installed it and what you mean.
Well...
I followed the directions as closely as I could: create a recovery chip, copy over the zip file (manualnooter-5.08.20-apps2sd.zip), reboot, install from zip file, install Manual Nooter, flash update-Froyo1.2-dalingrin-OC-emmc-090111.zip, install Gapps, reboot again. As far as I could tell, my results were consistent with the directions, up until the symptoms I described. For example, the splash (smash) screen is right, and the rainbow-y thing, and so on.
This partial success is even more frustrating than a total failure.

Your original post said you installed CM9. You did not. You just rooted your stock rom. You might want to edit the title of the post to 'Manual Nooter installed properly, Gapps not working. Then take that CM9 Eyeballer statement out of the text in the first post and you might get some proper responses from folks.
Sure enough.

Ah... I was under the impression that Eyeballer was a version name of CM9. None of the sets of instructions I read made it clear to me that wasn't the case.
I ended up doing a factory reset, then reinstalling everything. The picture is far rosier now -- it finally looks the way I pictured!
Thanks!

Eyeballer does build a version of CM9. But that has nothing to do with what you did. You ran Manual Nooter, which is a tool to root your stock installation. CM9 is a completely different version of Android than stock is. And when you install CM9, your stock is completely removed and replaced by CM9.
You do not have CM9 installed, you have just rooted your stock rom.
Anyway, I'm glad you got it working.
Edit: I see you modified your original post to say you did later install CM9.
[ROM][NC] Unofficial CM9 Nightly builds - with/without OpenGL
I don't have enough posts in XDA to post in the (goo dot gl/vPJcM) actual ROM thread so I'm hoping someone will see it here.
After installing the CM7 ROM a long time ago. they Nook wasn't able to boot into CWM. I can only access the recovery using a bootable SD card. That may or may not matter.
Yesterday I installed both the 3 SEP OpenGL and 4 SEP versions of Eyeballers CM9 ROM along with GAPPS. In both versions I cannot get bast the Setup Wizard since it "unfortunately Closed" every time I "touch the Android".
I did install the ROM w/o GAPPS as a temporary fix but will need to eventually access the Play Store.
I did notice that CWM still wont boot into recovery and the Cyanoboot won't either. Cyanoboot takes me to what appears to be a stock Nook screen claiming that an install has failed and that I should power on/off or contact customer service.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks!

You do not have CWM installed on internal memory (emmc). That message you are getting means you still have the stock recovery there. You need to flash a CWM to emmc using your bootable CWM card. Look in my tips thread linked in my signature. Look at item A8 and the subheading 'to fix a corrupted or missing recovery on emmc'.
I don't know how to solve your other problem with gapps, other than to do a factory reset with CWM.
From what I can tell, Eyeballer is mostly drinking.

Thank you very much for the response, I will try this as soon as I get some time (I have a selfish new baby) and get back.

You do not have CWM installed on internal memory (emmc). That message you are getting means you still have the stock recovery there. You need to flash a CWM to emmc using your bootable CWM card. Look in my tips thread linked in my signature. Look at item A8 and the subheading 'to fix a corrupted or missing recovery on emmc'.
I don't know how to solve your other problem with gapps, other than to do a factory reset with CWM.

Success! errr..sort of.
Prior to flashing gapps I was able to reboot into CWM. Thank you so much for your help!
Still having the same issue with setup manager after factory reset and wipe of all cache.
If anyone has a work around or another suggestions for CM9 on the NC I'd much appreciate it.
Thanks again.
I see that there are other posts on this same subject and I have looked through them to try and fix my problem but I haven't found a proper solution yet. I rooted my NC (1.4.3) cm7 and it worked alright after that but apps weren't available for the version so I attempted an update then reboot. I powered down and pulled the micro sd then powered up and it gets to "Read Forever" then goes black. I have tried cm10 with manual nooter in order to try and re-do the partition on the device but it won't do anything once I put the card in and try to boot. I have had to dis-assemble it so that I can pull the battery and get it to power down completely. I have tried a factory reset boot, sd card boot with auto nooter, manual nooter, cm7, cm10, and other options on the sd card, I have also tried to boot directly from internal memory. I have tried the process of plugging it into the computer through the usb cable. I have charged the battery completely so that isn't a problem.
I have read that it is virtually impossible to brick this thing but I think I might have succeeded....any input on what I can try next would be helpful...

A good place to start with boot problems is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
You should also probably read at least the first two post in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621301
You need to do a better job of describing your situation if you want help: how your NC was set up; exactly what you did that created the problem; what you want to end up with. At a guess, I will assume the you were running rooted stock on EMMC and CM7 on SD, decided to update CM7 to CM10, but used directions for updating CM that was installed to EMMC. I am not an expert on this, but sort of remember Leapinlar posting advice for someone (or maybe a few (?dozen?) someones) with this problem, you might want to search for those threads. If not, you have probably corrupted your boot records, recovery and/or possibly some partitions. Check out this thread by Leapinlar for help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759558
If you decide to install CM on EMMC, see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227

Here are the exact steps that I took to get to where I am:
I rooted the stock EMMC with the manual nooter to be able to get the Google Play Market, that worked well and I had access but the Android version was so old that I couldn't install the apps that I was after.
I then attempted to flash the EMMC to CM7, all status came up as pass and I rebooted. when it came up after the reboot all I got was the "Read Forever" screen.
since then I have read many different posts and tried to boot from the SD...that doesn't work, the screen just stays black
I have tried to boot to CWM to repair or rebuild the EMMC...same outcome
once I remove the SD all I get to is the "Read Forever" screen...
I have read and tried all the steps listed in every post you listed but they all have the same outcome
I have attached a pic of what the screen looks like when it tries to boot.

Hopefully someone more knowlegeable will look in, this is above my level. The fact that the Read Forever still displays shows that CM did not install correctly, if it's a newer version. You might want to try posting your problem in the same thread that you got the install instructions from.
